Reason for Report 1.1 The Committee is able to consider and take a decision on this item in terms of Section F.4.1 of Part 2A List of Committee Powers and Section C.3.1d of Part 2C Planning Delegations of the Scheme of Governance, as the applications constitute local development, where, in the professional opinion of the Head of Planning and Building Standards, approval would be a significant departure from the Development Plan and the Area Committee has decided to approve the application. 1.2 The Committee previously considered this item at its meeting on 24 January, 2019, and agreed to delegate the grant of planning permission to the Head of Planning and Building Standards, subject to completion of the Section 75 Agreement, Developer Obligations, resolution of issues relating to contamination and the conditions set out in the report. A further material consideration has since arisen in relation to both applications. It is the view of the Monitoring Officer that the decision of 24 January, 2019, cannot be implemented as the Committee requires to take into account this new material consideration prior to making a final determination of the application. Accordingly, in terms of Section 7.2 of the Council’s Standing Orders, the Committee can revisit its decision of 24 January, 2019, and consider this item. 1.3 The Head of Finance and Monitoring Officer within Business Services have been consulted in the preparation of this report, their comments are incorporated within the report and are satisfied that the report complies with the Scheme of Governance and relevant legislation. 2. Principal Planning Issues (Summary) 2.1 This report relates to two planning applications, identified above. Both proposals were previously supported by the Kincardine and Mearns Area Committee (11 December, 2018) and the Infrastructure Services Committee (24 January, 2019), as outlined in the appended reports at Appendix 1. Following the delegated grant given by the Infrastructure Services Committee (ISC), in order to address an issue arising relating to the provision of public transport to serve the developments, the Planning Service has liaised with the Council’s Infrastructure Services (Transportation). The response has raised the requirement to provide an additional condition, relating to the provision and implementation of a Public Transport Strategy. This raises a material consideration that requires the further consideration and agreement of the Infrastructure Services Committee. 2.2 Following discussion relating to wider public transport provision for other developments within Ury Estate, particularly the adjacent retail proposal, there is now a need to secure a Public Transport Strategy for these affordable housing proposals. This is in terms of consistency across all the consented developments within Ury Estate, and to secure a viable strategic solution to Item: 3 Page: 6 providing public transport to all parts of the wider developments across the Estate. It is worth noting that a Public Transport Strategy for the entire Ury Estate has been prepared and submitted for the adjacent retail unit. This has now been submitted for these affordable housing proposals, which identifies options for short and long term public transport provision, covering other triggers within the Estate such as the timing of the delivery of the link road across the Estate between the A957 and the B979. 2.3 All matters relating to the proposals remain as previously reported and accepted by the Infrastructure Services Committee in January. The only change is the Planning Service, as required by Infrastructure Services (Transportation), wish to add a condition to each consent to ensure that the submitted and accepted Public Transport Strategy is in place and adhered to for the delivery of the proposed affordable housing. The condition would ensure the suitable public transport provision is made to serve the development, prior to the occupancy of the first dwelling. This condition is now included in both applications as Condition no. 12. 2.4 For completeness and to update members, the delegated matters from the January Infrastructure Services Committee have been largely addressed, with only the S75 Legal Agreement requiring to be finalised. The Council’s Infrastructure Services (Contaminated Land) has completed its review of the Site Investigation Report, and subsequent mitigation measures, and has proposed a condition to ensure that the mitigation takes place (included now as Condition no.10 in both applications. This was agreed as a delegated matter previously. Finally, a condition (No. 11) relating to enhanced landscaping alongside the acoustic fence and bund, as agreed by ISC in January, has also been added to both applications. 3. Representations (Summary) 3.1 No representations have been received. 4. Appendices 4.1 The following documents are attached as Appendices to this Report: • Appendix 1: Infrastructure Services Committee report dated 24 January, 2019 (with attached Kincardine and Mearns Area Committee report dated 11 December, 2018, extract of its minute, and location and site plans) • Appendix 2: Extract of Minute of Meeting of the Infrastructure Services Committee of 24 January, 2019 Item: 3 Page: 7 5. Implications and Risk 5.1 An Equality Impact Assessment is not required because the proposals do not have a differential impact on any of the protected characteristics. 5.2 There are no staffing and financial implications. 5.3 There are no risks identified in respect of this matter in terms of the Corporate and Directorate Risk Registers, as the Committee is considering the application as the planning authority in a quasi-judicial role and must determine the application on its own merits in accordance with the Development Plan unless material considerations justify a departure. 6. Officer Recommendation 6.1 That authority to GRANT APP/2018/2227 be delegated to the Head of Planning and Building Standards subject to: i) The incorporation of this application into existing S75 agreements; ii) Securing the required Developer Obligations; iii) The following conditions; 01. No works in connection with the development hereby approved shall commence unless an archaeological Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) has been submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Planning Authority and a programme of archaeological works has been carried out in accordance with the approved WSI. The WSI shall include details of how the recording and recovery of archaeological resources found within the application site shall be undertaken, and how any updates, if required, to the Written Scheme of Investigation will be provided throughout the implementation of the programme of archaeological works. Should the archaeological works reveal the need for post excavation analysis, the development hereby approved shall not be brought into use unless a Post-Excavation Research Design (PERD) for the analysis, publication and dissemination of results and archive deposition has been submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Planning Authority. The PERD shall be carried out in complete accordance with the approved details. Reason: To safeguard and record the archaeological potential of the area. 02. No individual dwellinghouse hereby approved shall be erected unless an Energy Statement applicable to that dwellinghouse has been submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Planning Authority. The Energy Statement shall include the following items: a) Full details of the proposed energy efficiency measures and/or renewable technologies to be incorporated into the development; Item: 3 Page: 8 b) Calculations using the SAP or SBEM methods, which demonstrate that the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions rates for the development, arising from the measures proposed, will enable the development to comply with Policy C1 of the Aberdeenshire Local Development Plan 2017. The development shall not be occupied unless it has been constructed in full accordance with the approved details in the Energy Statement. The carbon reduction measures shall be retained in place and fully operational thereafter. Reason: To ensure this development complies with the on-site carbon reductions required in Scottish Planning Policy and Policy C1 of the Aberdeenshire Local Development Plan 2017. 03.

  • 43 Cultural Heritage
    Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route Environmental Statement 2007 Part D: Fastlink 43 Cultural Heritage This chapter identifies the potential direct and indirect impacts of the Fastlink section of the proposed scheme on known and potential sites of cultural heritage importance. The chapter also addresses effects on the wider historic landscape and historic landscape character. The chapter assesses the significance of the impacts and outlines measures for avoiding or mitigating these impacts, where possible. An archaeological desk based assessment and walkover survey identified 49 sites of cultural heritage importance. These range in date from the prehistoric period to the recent past. The individual importance of each site has been assessed on a scale of ‘Less than Local’ to ‘International’ importance. Potential direct impacts on 15 sites were identified, of which 7 are of local and 4 of less than local importance. There are no significant residual direct impacts for these sites, while seven sites are assessed as having adverse visual impacts on their setting which range from substantial to slight. Overall, the historic landscape is characterised by small rectangular fields bounded by stone walls with isolated farmsteads. There is also potential for the presence of unknown archaeological remains within the scheme’s land take. Recommendations to evaluate and mitigate potential direct and indirect impacts are provided along with recommendations to identify unknown sites. 43.1 Introduction 43.1.1 The key objectives of the assessment were to: • identify known and potential features of cultural heritage interest and assess their importance; • characterise the wider historic landscape; • identify and assess the magnitude and significance of the impact of the proposed development on each site; • assess the potential for impacts on unforeseen features of cultural heritage importance, especially archaeological remains; and • propose measures for avoiding, reducing or mitigating potential impacts.

  • IX.—The Glacial Geology of the Stonehaven District. by THIS Paper
    Downloaded from http://trned.lyellcollection.org/ at University of California-San Diego on June 8, 2015 THE GLACIAL GEOLOGY OF STONEHAVEN DISTRICT. 25 IX.—The Glacial Geology of the Stonehaven District. By ALEX. BREMNER, M.A., D.Sc, F.R.S.E. (Read 17th January, 1917.) THIS paper is a contribution towards the solution of one of the problems in the glacial geology of north-east Scotland, mentioned in a paper published in our Transactions (vol. x. p. 334), viz., the relations in space and time of the ice that distributed the red clays from Strathmore along the coasts of Kincardineshire and Aberdeenshire with that which brought the Upper Grey Boulder Clay. The latter we shall speak of in this paper as the Dee Valley Ice : the former we may call as before the Strath­ more Ice. In addition the paper may be interesting per se as a contribu­ tion to the study of the surface geology of a district to the solid geology of part of which special attention has been called in recent years. The area dealt with is bounded by the sea and a line drawn due west from Portlethen village to the Dee watershed, following the Dee watershed to the gap between Monluth and South Dennetys and passing thence southward to the Bervie Water at Milton of Dillivaird, along the Bervie to Drumlithie, and from that point straight back to the coast at Dunnottar Castle. The localities mentioned will be found on Sheets 66 and 67 of the 1-inch map. A. DIRECTION OF ICE MOVEMENT.

  • A41.1 Landscape Area Descriptions, Sensitivity, Magnitude of Change and Impact Significance
    Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route Environmental Statement Appendices 2007 Part D: Fastlink Appendix A41.1 Landscape Area Descriptions, Sensitivity, Magnitude of Change and Impact Significance 1 Landscape Area Descriptions, Sensitivity, Magnitude of Change and Impact Significance 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 This appendix sets out the baseline landscape character using Local Landscape Character Areas (LLCA) to describe the Fastlink Study Area. For each LLCA the description includes location, topography, drainage, landuse, settlement, views, key characteristics, positive and negative attributes, designations, condition and scenic quality. Where an LLCA will be directly affected by the Fastlink proposals there is a statement of the landscape and visual aims with regard to mitigating the proposals. 1.1.2 The location of the Local Landscape Character Areas and landscape designations are shown on Figures 41.2a-b. 1.1.3 Photographs illustrating the characteristics of each Local Landscape Character Area are shown on Figures 41.4a-g. 1.1.4 In Table 41.1.15 the main elements of each LLCA, both directly and indirectly affected, are described and a judgement made of the value and susceptibility. The sensitivity of each element is then evaluated. 1.1.5 Both Landscape sensitivity and the magnitude of change are combined in Table A41.1.16. The framework given in Chapter 41 (Landscape), Table 41.4 was then used to help determine impact significance, taking into account mitigation proposals, for winter year of opening and in the summer after fifteen years. 1.2 Baseline Conditions 1.2.1 The LLCAs within the Fastlink Study Area are listed and described below in order of character type.

  • Stonehaven, the County Town of Kincardineshire, Stands on the Coast Where the Carron and Cowie Waters Meet the North Sea
    STONEHAVEN - HISTORICAL NOTES Stonehaven, the county town of Kincardineshire, stands on the coast where the Carron and Cowie Waters meet the North Sea. The older part of the town lies south of the Carron Water in Dunnottar parish and grew up as a fishing village. The harbour nestled in a sheltered inlet behind the rock of Craig-ma-Cair - which by tradition gave rise to the name Stonehaven, the 'Steenhyve'. During the 17 th and 18 th centuries the harbour was very small, with just one pier at the north side. In 1825, when the south pier was constructed and the harbour deepened, the rock of Craig-ma-Cair was blown up. George Keith 5 th Earl Marischal, had Stonehaven created a burgh of barony in 1587. It was probably at the same time that the Earl built the pier at the harbour and a store-house there. As a result of a plea made to Parliament (possibly engineered by the Earl seeking the aggrandisement of his new burgh), Stonehaven became the county town in 1600 and the Earl Marischal's store-house was elevated to a new dignity as the County Tolbooth. The outstanding moment in the Tolbooth's history was when three Episcopalian priests were imprisoned there in 1748-49. The County Buildings were built in 1767 to replace the old Tolbooth. The steeple of the Flemish-style Town House in the High Street was erected in 1790. The newer part of Stonehaven lies north of the Carron Water in Fetteresso parish. The estate of Arduthie, between the Carron and Cowie Waters, was purchased in 1759 by Robert Barclay of Ury, whose son planned a new town here.
